Clippers had a great team, they put fear into the hearts of Lakers fans (at least early in the year), they blew out great teams, they convinced tons and tons of sports writers that they were by far the best in the west...
But alas, when it came time to step up, they faded miserably in crunch time and have to rethink and retool as they will probably be losing their best bench guy.. _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, the Clippers have the best team on paper but you don't win ships on paper, you win them on the 94 by 50 hardwood. Up 3 1 and let it get away. Big time LINK

Still waiting on Windbag, Nichols, and Mcmillan to issue public apologies for their dog and pony show crowning the Clips NBA champs before the season even started. |

Before the season I had the West top as:
1) Rockets
2) Lakers
3) Clippers
noting that the Rockets were built for the regular season and that they'd be no issue getting through.
I also had the Lakers and Clippers in the 2nd round with the Lakers getting by them - though it would be very difficult.
The issues the Clippers had became clear and I said this many many times on the podcast - Lou can't do what he does regular season in the playoffs and he's a defensive liability.
Taking away Lou takes away Montrezl who is also a defensive liability (against Jokic, in other series he can do certain things well).
w/o Lou the Clippers are reliant on role players like Beverley and Jackson who are not (good) point guards - or Shamet - or PG/Kawhi at the point. That can work regular season but in the playoffs when teams are scheming against you?
Nope.
That and PG has shown he isn't clutch - was inevitable - I just thought it'd be vs the Lakers _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

Thanks EP !
Great win for Nuggets, haven’t seen a beating like that since Ralphie handed it to Scut Farcus. I believe Lakers would have done the same, if not worse.
Lakers will be rested and ready. _________________ Go DODGERS !!!! |

If the Lakers bring home the Larry O'Brien I'll put AD as the best teammate. Bron and AD don't have much consistency surrounding them. I have him as the best big man. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
